The event ended with the ceremony of consecrating the monument, which was performed by the rector of the Church of the Holy Martyr John the Warrior, Archpriest Gleb.
Let us recall that units to combat organized crime were created 30 years ago, on May 6, 1991, by decree of the President of the USSR. This date appeared on an Orthodox holiday - the Day of Remembrance of St. George the Victorious, holy martyr and fighter for justice, patron of the military.
At the time of the creation of the Organized Organized Crime Control Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR, it included about 50 employees who remained faithful to the oath and their people. During the difficult period of active hostilities, they were among the first to defend the rights and legitimate interests of citizens.
The department went through several stages in its development: from a volunteer self-defense unit to one of the most combat-ready units, which disarmed illegal armed groups, exposed terrorist groups, and suppressed the activities of sabotage groups.
